Summary

As the transfer window gets underway and big-name players like Ibrahima Konate are beginning to move clubs, the Liverpool.com NFL-inspired draft returns. Host Dan Morgan is joined by Joel Rabinowitz, debutant James Martin, and Blood Red's Matt Addison as they make their selections for who could make an impact for Liverpool from the bottom 12 Premier League clubs (including those who were promoted this season, and excluding those who were relegated). Each writer gets to pick five signings of their choice, and each pick must not exceed a current Transfermarkt value of over £50m. Picks must include at least one defender, one midfielder and one forward and each pick must be unique, so once a player is selected, no other writer can take them, with no more than two players from one club selected. Among the predictable picks are Raphinha, Pedro Neto and Yves Bissouma, while there are also some more left-field options who Michael Edwards could turn to as the draft unfolds.
